Q: My Boyfriend- urethra

asked by: LadyKitten on October 19th, 2007

I have a couple of questions regarding my bf's (28 y.o) penis. The urethra hole is not where I've seen other penis'. His is acutally more underneath the head of the penis and it has more of an oval shape opening. Most other penis' I've seen the urethra hole is directly at the tip of the penis. Another thing is he tends to sit when urinating because he sprays. I'm guessing because of how big the hole is and where it's located that's why his pee shoots to the right and left. One last thing is that he's always leaking from his penis. I'll always see him stick his hand down his pants to wipe the tip off. Not just after sex, but anytime. He is circumcised so I'm wondering could his urethra hole be where it is because of the circumcision, or is it normal for some guys to have it down in that area and leaking all the time?

Answers?

It is known as Hypospadias and is mostly a cosmetic problem, except in severe cases. Surgery is often performed in infancy to correct it.

I'm not sure if leaking is an effect of hypospadias, but if he's been doing it for life, I'd think it would be.

is is one of the complications circumcision can cause, his doctor cut his urethra doing a partial metectomdy . it can be fixed by a plastic urological surgeon.

Hypospadias is not caused by botched circumcision, but a similar condition can happen as a result and is rare.

Hypospadias is exactly what it looks like when I google the word. It's not as bad as I've read some can be where it's mid-shaft or down near the testies, but I just wasn't sure why it looked different. Thanks for the information though. At least now I know more about it.
